Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xu Yan got up and washed.

In order not to disturb his sleeping father, he lightly changed his clothes, tied up his net towel and left the house.

The governor's yamen was not far from Chen's mansion, and Xu Yan had already inquired about the specific location and walked straight to it.

The north of Hangzhou is the gathering area of the major yamen, and Xu Yan passed by the Qiantang County Yamen, the Hangzhou Government Yamen, and the political envoy Yamen all the way. Xu Yan had a clear goal, so he naturally wouldn't be distracted here, but he stopped in front of a mansion with arches and cornices not long after he continued to walk.

I saw that the front of this mansion was full of people, and they should be ordinary people dressed up.

Xu Yan was a little curious, so he took a few steps forward to find out.

"Master Chen is wronged, he didn't embezzle silver, we can all testify."

"Master Chen treats us weavers very well, and the monthly silver money is paid on time, and there is no deduction."

"We can testify that Master Chen was wronged!"

Xu Yan finally squeezed in, and looked up to see what this was not the Hangzhou Weaving Yamen!

Hangzhou weaving can be roughly divided into two parts. The first is the weaving yamen, which is an official office and is managed by the admiral weaving eunuchs. The other is the weaving and dyeing bureau, which is for the factory.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu, Yongle years, the weaving and dyeing bureau is divided into a number of halls or numbers, each bureau has a leader of three people to manage the name of the official, under the chief master, master, plumber and other technical and affairs management personnel, responsible for supervising the craftsmen, engaged in weaving. Under the Weaving Bureau, there are three machine rooms, namely the supply machine room, the satin machine room and the silk machine room, the technical division of labor is relatively fine, according to the process by dyeing and brushing warp craftsmen, spinning craftsmen, warp pullers, thread beaters and weavers and other craftsmen and other craftsmen. In general, the craftsmen are filled by shift craftsmen.

But in the Jiajing period, although the craftsman registration still existed, the shift system had long existed in name only.

In order to complete the task, the weaving yamen had to select a private machine operator to fill the position of official craftsman. Of course, this work was not directly done by the official master of the weaving yamen, but was handed over to an imperial merchant like the Chen family. In short, it's about outsourcing the task.

Obviously, these people in front of him are the machine operators hired by the Chen family.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yan's heart was still a little warm. It seems that his maternal grandfather was of good character, otherwise these craftsmen would not have gathered outside the weaving yamen to petition for him.

Even so, Xu Yan, who had already planned for a long time, would not waste time here, but turned his head and went to the governor's yamen.

The governor's yamen is located in the middle of the north of Hangzhou, which is very majestic.

Xu Yan came to the yamen, tidied up his clothes, and stepped forward.

"Xu Yan of Dinghai County asks to see Lord Futai."

The public on duty in front of the yamen saw that Xu Yan was dressed as a Confucian and that he should be a scholar, so he nodded lightly and said, "You wait here for a while, and I'll report it." ”

Although Xu Yan had been prepared, he still used this time to go through the manuscript in his mind.

The matter involved Sun Qing, the eunuch of Admiral Weaving, and he had to find a reason for Zhu Kun to intervene in the matter.

After about a cup of tea, the yamen duke went and returned, and smiled at Xu Yan: "Xu Gongzi, please come with so." ”

Xu Yan obviously felt that this man's attitude was much better, and nodded lightly and said, "I'm tired." ”

Under the guidance of the yamen duke, Xu Yan smoothly entered the governor's yamen. Compared with Dinghai County, it is several times larger. Flowers and trees are planted all over the place, which is very pleasant. It's just that Xu Yan has been walking briskly, and he doesn't have much time to stop and watch.

He walked all the way along the corridor, through a hanging flower gate and a moon gate, and came to the backyard.

Xu Yan looked around, only to see the rockery in the courtyard, the flowing water, the pavilions and pavilions, everything was there, and the scenery was changed step by step, which was beautiful. It is not much better than those famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River that enjoy the reputation of the world.

Tsk, no wonder everyone wants to take the imperial examination to become a big official, and the improvement of the quality of life by the position of power is too great.

"Xu Gongzi, please take care of yourself."

The duke took Xu Yan and retreated.

Xu Yan looked fixedly, and Zhu Kun was sitting in a pavilion more than ten steps away reading a book.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and strode towards him in a robe.

Walking to the pavilion, Xu Yan bowed to Zhu Su and said, "I will meet Lord Futai in my later life." ”

Seeing that Xu Yan was coming, Zhu Yan put down the scroll in his hand and took a sip of the teacup.

"Xu Xiaoyou, the county exam is approaching, why did you come to Hangzhou Mansion when you didn't study at home?"

"Back to Lord Futai, I came to Hangzhou to save people when I was born."

Xu Yan didn't hide it, and pointed out the intention.

"Oh?"

Zhu Kun was obviously a little surprised, and pressed down with his right hand: "Sit down and talk." ”

How dare Xu Yan be presumptuous in front of the elder, although he sat down, only half of his buttocks were next to the stone bench, and his waist was straight, and his hands were on his knees.

Xu Yan already had a draft, and when he saw Zhu Kun asking questions, he described the cause and effect of the incident 1510.

Of course, a little bit of vinegar.

Zhu Kun couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"You mean that Admiral Weaving Eunuch Sun Qing framed your grandfather for embezzling money from the Ministry of Labor?"

"Exactly."

Now, Xu Yan has nothing to keep.

"It's not a secret, on the way to the late birth party, I also saw a lot of machine operators outside the weaving yamen, who were complaining about the late ancestors."

Zhu Kun tapped his fingers lightly, and then stroked his beard and said, "I know about this, so don't be impatient." If you have been wronged in renting, Benfu will definitely pay him back. ”

Xu Yan is very confident in Zhu Kun's character, and he can't help but be overjoyed when he says this.

"Thank you, Lord Futai!"

The two were chatting to themselves, when suddenly a public came to report urgently.

"Tell the governor, something happened to the weaving yamen!"

Zhu Kun was shocked when he heard this: "What's wrong?" ”

"Back to the governor's words, a group of machine operators in front of the weaving yamen gathered to petition, which annoyed Sun Gong. Sun Gong then ordered to be driven away, but unexpectedly he accidentally killed someone. ”

"How can it be!"

Rao is Zhu Kun, who is very self-contained, and he was also angry and slapped the stone table.

It took him a long time to calm down his anger and ask: "What do you say about the Qiantang County Government and the Hangzhou Government Government?" ”

"The matter involves the weaving yamen, and the two adults dare not ask. Only then did the bitter lord come to the governor's yamen to complain. ”

Zhu Kun was born as a Jinshi, and served as the official Jingzhou Zhizhou, Kaizhou Zhizhou, Nanjing Criminal Department member Wailang, Sichuan Military Envoy, Guangdong Zuobu Political Envoy, and Right Deputy Imperial Envoy, which can be described as a first-class clear stream.

People like him look down on eunuchs in their bones. It's okay if it's okay, but if Eunuch Sun ordered his subordinates to kill the people like today, it touched Zhu Kun's bottom line.

"They don't dare to take care of it, Ben Fu will take care of it!"
